JAKARTA - The convict in the bribery case from the convict in the "cessie" corruption case of Bank Bali Djoko Tjandra, Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte, has been sentenced to prison in Cipinang Prison, East Jakarta, after his appeal was rejected by the Supreme Court.

The Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo, said that Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte was transferred from the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police to the Cipinang Prison to carry out his criminal execution. "That's right, today's execution is from the prosecutor," said Inspector General Dedi, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, November 16.

Dedi explained that the criminal case of Inspector General Pol Napoleon had been declared legally binding after his cassation was rejected.

Therefore, Inspector General Napoleon was no longer detained by the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police, but was transferred to Cipinang Prison to undergo execution for the verdict handed down by the panel of judges.

"The case has been resolved. The detention has been (moved)," said Dedi.

Previously, the Supreme Court rejected the cassation filed by the former Head of the International Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General (Insp. Gen.) Napoleon Bonaparte in the case of accepting bribes from convicts in the "cessie" corruption case of Bank Bali, Djoko Tjandra.

The cassation verdict was decided on November 3, 2021 by the panel of judges, Suhadi as chairman, with judges from the Eddy Army and Ansori.

With this decision, Napoleon still had to serve a sentence of 4 years in prison plus a fine of Rp. 100 million, subsidiary of 6 months in prison.

On March 10, 2021, the Jakarta Corruption Court (Tipikor) located at the Jakarta District Court stated that Napoleon Bonaparte was proven to have received bribes of 370 thousand US dollars (approximately Rp5.137 billion) and 200 thousand Singapore dollars (approximately Rp2.1 billion) from the convict Djoko Tjandra's "cessie" Bank Bali corruption case.

A bribe was given through Djoko Tjandra's friend, businessman Tommy Sumardi, so that Napoleon Bonaparte would help in the process of removing Djoko Tjandra's name from the People's Wanted List (DPO) registered with the Directorate General of Immigration.

For this money, Napoleon also removed Djoko Tjandra's name from the Enhanced Cekal System (ECS) on the immigration information system (SIMKIM).

Regarding this case, a number of parties have been sentenced, namely the former Head of the Coordination and Supervision Bureau (Kakorwas) of the Civil Servant Investigator (PPNS) of the National Police Criminal Investigation Department Brigadier General Prasetijo Utomo, who was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison; Djoko Tjandra was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison based on an appeal decision from the Jakarta High Court from 4.5 years in prison; Pinangki prosecutor Sirna Malasari was sentenced to 4 years in prison based on an appeal decision from the Jakarta High Court from 10 years in prison and Andi Irfan Jaya who is Pinangki's colleague was sentenced to 6 years in prison.

In addition to being entangled in a corruption case, Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte was also named a suspect in a criminal case of alleged mistreatment of Muhammas Kece, a suspect in the blasphemy case.

Napoleon was named a suspect along with four other Bareskrim Rutan prisoners. This case also ensnared two officers from the Bareskrim Detention Center and the Head of the Bareskrim Detention Center who were subject to disciplinary violations.

Until now, the alleged abuse case is still in the process of completing the file to be transferred to the Attorney General's Office.
